HTC One scores "several hundred thousand" preorders in the US

HTC One is getting a very warm reception in the US, as it has already scored several hundred thousand preorders from customers eager to get their hands on it.
The milestone was confirmed by Jason Mackenzie, HTC's president of global sales and marketing, who said the customers' initial response...

one user namely "ramour" said
"That's true story..htc step by step near to samsung but maybe it can sell more than s4 if htc had too big money for advertising".

you are grossly wrong my dear ramour, if htc had better "features" n not just cosmetic looks than samsung galaxy s4 ,then htc will definately outsell samsung phones, also htc phones have a ton of bloatware that just spoils the beauty of android, n now it just tries to mimic the live tiles of windows phones,
may be some kids will buy the htc phones for their cosmetic looks, i neither have a fetish for metals nor for their cosmetic looks, i just want a powerhouse n power performer of a phone,
many people downplay the micro sd card slot saying they dont need that much of "excess storage" or that they will use cloud for everything, mind u samsung is not a regional phone manufacturer that just sells phones in the us which has a vast 4g covarage, so using cloud may not be a problem for them but samsung is intelligent enough to look after all its world wide consumers, for example theres isnt any 4g in my country, so using cloud by 2g or 3g connection is illogical here , u may say just use wi fi, also wi fi is also limited here at my place, so any time i would prefer a phone with micro sd card slot than one without it, samsung is truely an international company which takes into consideration all its world wide consumer base before designing n releasing a product,
also htc has a ton of bloat ware on its phones,
anytime hands down i will go for samsung only.
thanks.
also regarding ur comment about advertising the movie "macgruber" was advertised a lot but it bombed at the box office, open up your eyes buddy, people just dont buy mobiles based on mere advertising , its the "features" in the phone n that company which listens to the hearts of its consumers will always be the winner in the game, others will bite the dust just like nokia did.
also just ask ur htc customers if they are happy with the support to thier older phones, just see how samsung supports thier older phones with latest firmware, the best example is samsung galaxy s2 which started out with gingerbread n now is enjoying jelly bean, can ur htc customers boast like that?

Rather there are thousand of devices which are manufactured simultaneously but each requiring 4 hours. So just in 4 hours there would be 4000 devices ready, and in a day 24000. Now that's impressive.

why all this fighting over who's better both the Galaxy s4 and the HTC one, are Great Phones And are Android devices . it was just 3 years ago people was Calling our Android Smart phones , is This An iphone Killer . Now the Galaxy s4 , the HTC one , Sony Xperia Z , Oppo find 5 , LG Optimus Pro , Motorola are Killing everything . Come on Android Brothers and Sisters , Rise up and keep supporting Android

Good news. At the same time considering the quality of HTC One compared to the competition, it is normal !
Best battery life for power user.
Best design
Best screen with true life colors , good contrast and high pixel density
One of the most powerful smartphone with Xperia Z & GS4
Best audio ...

HTC one is such a bad phone.Except full aluminium,curved back gorgeous body ,high-res,narural color,clear screen,amazing beats audio,exceeding clear boom sound, impressive ultrapixel camera,brand new sense 5 without any lag···,I can hardly find any advantages.What a bad phone!
